The most AMAZING photographer you could ever ask for!!!!!

Mauricio was our photographer for our “wedding pictures” after we eloped. His work speaks for itself, but I can promise you that if you chose him you will not regret it! If you don't believe me, just skip right to pictures and know we only told him we wanted to be in the forest.

Now for the details: Words cannot describe the incredible experience we had with Mauricio and his team. Lets start with the fact that we weren’t even in the country (Costa Rica) through ALL of the planning process; which makes things infinitely harder. Mauricio kept in constant communication with us and was very timely in his responses. He was professional from the moment we found his website and he was willing to work with whatever we were throwing at him: we wanted a wedding photoshoot in a literal forest and that is what he delivered and more! He had the foresight to to look into to look into the conditions of where we wanted to take the pictures and offered suggestions which proved invaluable (we would’ve gotten soaked if we didn’t take his advice!).

Mauricio is also willing to go the extra mile in ever aspect of your shoot; we were in a very remote location, at a very early start time in the middle of the forest! He handled everything with the utmost professionalism and with the best energy and a huge smile on his face! I also asked for a few pictures early so I could gift them to my grandmother and he sent them within the hour!!!!!

Mauricio is the type of person to listen to your vision and make that a reality in a way that you didn’t think was possible. We are very awkward people by nature, but Mauricio immediately put us at ease and guided us through all the poses with patience and understanding. He even gave us a crash course in posing before we started which was extremely helpful. Not only is he a professional, but he makes you feel like you are too! We felt like models in a photoshoot, which is saying a lot from people who usually only take selfies. He is also fully bilingual which was great since I speak Spanish but my husband only speaks English. I didn’t need to translate at all which took some of the workload off me!

Mauricio and his team hiked approx 2 km in the forest to make our vision a reality and we could not be more grateful!!!!!!! I could’ve never imagined the pure MAGIC that resulted from his technique and eye for composition. This is not someone who relies on filters or edits; he fully understands what needs to be done to obtain the pictures of your dreams!

In short, Mauricio is the photographer you have been looking for. He will surpass your every expectation and you will make unforgettable memories!!!!!

I would get married again, just to have him as our photographer.

Mauricio was our wedding photographer and we could not have chosen a better photographer. Not only were the photos beautiful, they were exactly what we wanted. Mauricio takes the time to know you and your partner, he takes time to understand your relationship and dynamic and meets with you prior to the wedding to really know the small details that will make your pictures unique and wonderful. My husband did not want posed pictures, he wanted to not even see the photographer and Mauricio listened to that. He was a ninja and obtained candid pictures that are amazing. On the other hand, I asked him to get pictures of my grandma and my 15 year old maltese as they are very important to me and wanted to have wonderful pictures of both. He delivered exactly that. Mauricio is not only an excellent photographer but an incredible human being. Although we worked with him only for our wedding, it felt like we had been friends for years. His personality and how he treats you makes you feel like you are good friends, making the process all the better. I would get married again, just to have him as our photographer.

El mejor recuerdo

Desde nuestro compromiso definimos que queríamos tener los mejores recuerdos de nuestra boda. Cuando empezamos la búsqueda de nuestro fotógrafo recibimos la recomendación de Mau y al ver su trabajo supimos que él era el indicado.
Desde la primera conversación que tuvimos con él, nos sorprendió bastante su manera de trabajar y el interés en conocernos como pareja para plasmar nuestra esencia en su trabajo, creemos que esto marca una diferencia sobre todo en esos momentos de planeación que a veces se vuelve un poco caótica. Pudimos notar su dedicación y amor en lo que hace y esto se ve reflejado en cada foto. En definitiva, podemos recomendarlo a ojos cerrados y estamos seguro de que nadie va a salir decepcionado. Al momento de recibir nuestras fotos quedamos impresionados con el resultado porque superó nuestras expectativas, es increíble la magia que hace con su cámara. Mau logró captar momentos únicos y le agradecemos por su gran trabajo, consejos y acompañamiento durante toda la aventura de nuestra boda. Definitivamente es el mejor fotógrafo.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
